Another idea would be to get Ballistic Buggy spikes nominated for every meeting where Schumacher tyres are currently the nominated tyre - would it really make the racing that much worse? I think you'd still have the same quick guys at the top, but a company that's still involved in the Off Road scene would be benefitting. I heard a rumour they were developing another tyre also so that could make things interesting?
Someone just needs to replicate the Yellow compound - i'm sure the ballistic spikes would be just about as good as the Schumachers if they were in Yellow compound and would probably last a tad longer for the average club racers due to the length of spike!
I'm sure something will change soon, either someone will have a new tyre out or maybe Schumacher would even get back into Off Road another day which would be good for everyone.
You could arguably then almost have one manufacturers tyre for each national - that would be a fair way to do it rather then Schumacher having 5/6 of the current rounds.

nick what would the point in that be, ballistic buggy tyres have just gone up to £7.50 a pair, they don't work as well so for the sake of saving 50p its just not worth the hassle, plus schumachers tend to be more durable than BB's so it will actually cost you more money over a season and not be as good!!!
